About us
Frishberg & Partners is an independent American-owned law firm based in Kyiv since 1991, one of the longest established international practices in Ukraine, with an extensive portfolio of distinguished clients, reference letters and publications.
Our focus is narrow: we help our clients implement their business projects in Ukraine, quickly and efficiently.
We specialize in Ukrainian business and corporate legislation – from company registrations, labor laws and tax-related advice to product liability, intellectual property protection and related regulatory compliance, we are here to assist at every step of the way.
In M&A, we offer a full scope of legal services, starting with due diligence, drafting and executing all related documents, including license procurement (if necessary). We also assist strategic investors in screening and identifying acquisition target companies and reliable Ukrainian joint venture partners.
Our construction and real estate practice is a close collaboration between our experienced property lawyers and consultants. In addition to providing our legal services, we can identify land parcels for development, and obtain the licenses and permits to construct large structures (categories CC2 or CC3).
Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts will bring unprecedented opportunities for foreign companies. To streamline access, F&P formed a strategic alliance with a leading Ukrainian advisory firm specializing in infrastructure reconstruction. Together, we pre-screen projects in the pipeline and provide end-to-end support, including preparation of all required legal, technical and financial documents for successful tender participation.
Over the years, we developed an extensive network of relationships across all levels of the government. Our Government Relations team members worked in the highest levels of the President’s Administration, the Kyiv City Administration, the Ukrainian Parliament, the National Bank of Ukraine and the Ministry of Infrastructure. Plus, our lobbying group and in-house media department are fully aligned with the client’s objectives, maximizing impact in both public and political arenas.
At Frishberg & Partners, we bring effective solutions to complex legal and business challenges.
